This is the second of the 'angel' Christmas cards I did for the friend who commissioned me to make an angel card for her to give to a friend. This time I did just die cuts and a sentiment, no colored image, but I think the card is superbly elegant. Whichever one she chooses, I'll donate the other two to my local senior center so there was no problem with making a total of three to give her more than one choice.
I cut the angels from glittered CS by Doodlebug. The Impression Obsession angel die only faces one direction so I cut one with the die on the glittered side and cut the second with the die on the back side. Fortunately, there's very little embossing on the angel so it didn't make a lot of difference between front and back.
I mounted the angels onto deep, blue CS, then printed and hand cut the sentiment. I found silver satin ribbon and made one of my hand-sewn bows with a pearl as the single embellishment.
Note to my friend, Lynn: I know you get starved to see blue around Christmas since all your friends are doing red and green (but for a few cards that might have ice blue shadows on snowmen) so I did this one with you in mind. Absorb it, my friend! :-D
